Reading time: We expect our investments to do more than earn a good return.
We believe that companies that manage environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues properly will be more financially sustainable and perform better over the long term.
Our investment managers take a range of factors into account when measuring the sustainability of an investment in a company or business, such as:
- environmental - greenhouse gas emissions, natural resource consumption, waste management and other opportunities to reduce environmental impact
- social - occupational health and safety, employee welfare and product safety controls for end consumers
- governance - conflicts of interest, transparency, risk management, regulatory compliance and director remuneration.
